Her Life In Pictures

Every now and then I'll scan through some of my old pictures from prior years, and then, of course, I'll get teary eyed when I see how much my kids have grown.

And it's not that Caleb hasn't changed a lot since he was a baby. Of course Gabriel has, too, and will continue to change. But there is just something about Sarah...

When I see her as a baby...

Then as a new toddler...

And then as a little girl...

As she continues to grow...

It's just hard for me sometimes.

She just amazes me. I love her so much. She's so cuddly and sweet. (I'm conveniently leaving out that she's got a mind of her own every now and then, but I'm ok with it...she's still in training, and that mind of hers will come in handy someday!)

I love you my sweet Sarah. I will always be here for you to stand strong when you need me to do so. I have never taken for granted that God gave me a daughter. Your heart, mind, and spirit are something that I take very seriously, and I will do my best to honor the Lord with the gift He's given me.
